Major Faux Pas by Oz racist Conservative Party

Oz political commentators seem to be in agreement on one thing in relation to the
unusually extended Federal election campaign, the longest in half a century, and that is
the election will be lost by the party that commits the most blunders and so far the
leaders in that area are the incumbent conservatives.
PM Turnbull with minister, Peter Dutton
Yet again the conservatives have made a major blunder revealing the racist petticoat of the
conservative party, which would rather fork out (waste) $800million/year (now add that up over the
years this policy has been in effect) to indefinitely detain refugees offshore than deal with the
problem internally for a fraction of the cost; indeed, most able bodied men awaiting processing could
be put to work in rural regions, which would actually assist the economy not cause massive financial
haemorrhaging.
The conservatives have also legislated that medical and other Australian staff dealing with the very
real needs of refugees in prolonged detention, would be liable under law if they reveal any
information about the cruel and harsh policies of the government in its treatment of refugees; the
number of rapes, child abuse incidents and suicides is rising every year, the intentionally drawn-out
(in the hope that refugees ‘voluntarily’ return to their countries of origin or to foreign nations willing
to accept them along with bundles of taxpayer cash) is a sad indictment of the incumbent
government, which is now seen for what it is, economic dunces, managerial incompetents and
clearly xenophobic and racist.
In view of this prevailing reality, immigration minister Peter Dutton, an ultra-conservative left-over
from the Abbott era, has revealed his innermost character, by making the outrageous and inaccurate
claim that accepting refugees, like most civilised western nations, would place locals on the dole
queue. He added fuel to his rantings by tagging, refugees as “illiterate and innumerate.” The PM
realising that a major faux pas had occurred countered his own minister’s public statement, by
stating that "We [Australia] have the most successful multicultural society in the world;" indeed, but
imagine if today’s immigration policies existed in previous decades, Aussies would be eating snags
and mash in the world’s most backward nation.
Allow me to now state to the nation that I was born overseas and all my cousins including myself
1
have degrees and have contributed to the growth of Australia, my only cousin that does not have a
degree represented Australia in cricket, Kerry Packer ensured that all his players would be
financially secure.
Now, a note on my ‘illiterate’ family elders, my uncle recently passed away at 93 leaving assets to
his children (my cousins) that approximate over $100 million which he earned legitimately in
business and real estate investments in Australia, he stated his success was due to Aussies being
lazy and NOT seeing opportunities; he only had a primary school education but was easily able to
make millions in Australia which was ONCE a land of opportunity before the corporate sector took
control of both major parties and ruined the nation -- as is starkly evident today.
My family is secure thanks to liberal immigration policies of the past and the nation is better off for
it. My family story is repeated among many Italians, Greeks and Eastern European migrants,
however, the same can’t be said for Anglo/pommy immigrants. It may surprise Malcolm Turnbull
that his lazy privileged ethnic group now only total 47% of the population, it was 95% in the 50’s
when my family landed in this great nation, as we perceived it. Nevertheless, we were relentlessly
vilified and abused by Anglo Aussies, though it didn’t worry us as we knew we had superior survival
skills and a superior work ethic, which we failed to infuse in the broader Anglo community.
Today, however, the most successful group is Asian immigrants, which, as we saw a generations
past, see nothing but opportunity in Australia, which reality remains invisible to Anglo Aussies.
Now allow me, a ‘reffo’, to forecast the ethnic profile of Australia in a few short years, this nation
will be Eurasian taking the best from all cultures and Anglo-Aussies and their pathetic insular ways
will no longer exist, as they are their own worst enemy.
So Mr silver spoon, Anglo Turnbull, does your party of insular, xenophobic racists really hope to
survive by insulting 53% of the population? Well, to put the answer in the local vernacular, which I
love, your chance is Buckley’s and NONE! You and your ministers are as transparent as glass, we
look forward to more revealing blunders.
